Subject: [PATCH rtw-next] wifi: rtlwifi: fix possible skb memory leak in `_rtl_pci_rx_interrupt()`.

The function `_rtl_pci_init_one_rxdesc()` can fail even when the new
`skb` is passed because of a DMA mapping error.  If it fails, the `skb`
is not saved in the rx ringbuffer and thus lost.

Compile tested only
